Westminster Loving God & Neighbour

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." This Sunday, July 31, 2022 (10:01am) that is our main text. It was also our memory verse from last month. It's a famous saying. Light is good; darkness is bad. But what does light represent? What about darkness? How do you follow light? This is what we'll explore. We will have Sunday School (and nursery care!) and will welcome Nena LaMarre to again help with music. We praise, we pray, we ARE the body of Christ together. Join us in person or online Live on YouTube at 10:01 a.m.

"The truth will set you free." Yes, it's another of Jesus' famous statements. They are plastered over courthouses and libraries. But what do they mean? Free from what? And why were his words so controversial to people who thought they already had it all together? That's what we'll explore on Sunday as we look at John 8:31-38. We also welcome back Music Director Jenn Harris after her vacation! We will sing to God, pray together, learn a new memory verse, have Sunday School ministry, nursery care, and fellowship time. God's people honour God! Please join us online or in person at 10:01 a.m. Live on YouTube at 10:01 a.m.

We are meant to become like Christ, meant to become God's hope for the world. This Sunday August 14th, Henna Kim will lead our service. She will show how this is the meaning of our lives and the purpose of our ministry. Trust that being transformed into Christlikeness is already happening in us, and will be perfectly finished when Jesus returns. We will sing to God, pray together, have Sunday School ministry, nursery care, and fellowship time. So, let us be bold, take the freedom in Christ and trust the Holy Spirit in us. Live on YouTube at 10:01 a.m.

So many of us worry and fret, losing sleep and are anxious about everything.  But there is good news!! The bible says "Fear Not" again and again. Join guest speaker Jeff Walther as he leads our service and shares a sermon entitled "Don't Worry. Be Faithful." Inspired by Philippians 4: 4 - 7 and a popular song, "Don't Worry. Be Happy." by singer/musician/composer Bobby McFerrin in 1988.  We will sing, pray, enjoy Sunday School and Nursery care, Fellowship time and worship the living God together. Let's see how our faith can set us free. Please join us online or in person at 10:01 a.m. Live on YouTube at 10:01 a.m.
